Based on recommendation on other recent posts I had installed Opera 9.2 and agree with others that this a great improvement over other browsers, particularly in terms of speed. I have set Opera as default browser but still find IE opening if I click on a shortcut in Windows Mail. Anyone care to offer some advice so I can be in an IE-free zone?

Has anyone used Opera on a Windows Mobile 6 Professional phone? Comments?

Not quite as simple as that (but then it's Windows wink).

I'm using Vista Ultimate and in Default Programs>Set Default Programs ...Opera isn't listed (so presumably it didn't enter itself into the Registry (it didn't put Media Player plug-ins into its Plug-In folder either so I had to download the 3 files it needed from a 3rd party site and pop them in myself).
